Wars' impact on Arab mental health
International reports indicate that wars and conflicts in Arab countries lead approximately 25% of the population to suffer from psychological disorders, especially among women and children. This results from ongoing trauma such as bombings, displacement, and the loss of loved ones. The psychological effects include panic attacks, severe depression, chronic anxiety, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, with particular cases in Gaza, Sudan, Yemen, and Syria where residents face worsening mental health conditions due to the destruction of healthcare infrastructure, increasing war-related pressures, and the spread of trauma and psychological disorders. These situations are exacerbated by limited humanitarian efforts to provide initial psychological support.
